Inner Flour Offering Forgiveness

Neville's Inner Vision

That text speaks not of birds or barley, but of consciousness acknowledging fault and choosing a cleaner form of self-offering. When you cannot produce the dynamic reliance of two doves, you choose a tenth of an ephah of fine flour—the plain, oil-free, frankincense-free offering of your current state. This is Scripture telling you to offer your present consciousness as it stands, without adornment, and to let the priest within you record it as a memorial and burn it as fire upon the altar of the LORD. The act of atonement follows: not a payment to a distant God, but a turning of your inner attention so that the old image of self is consumed and forgiveness is granted in your inner court. The remaining grain becomes the priest's to offer as meat, meaning the self that remains after the cleansing serves God within you. Thus, forgiveness is not distant but wrought by your own assumed state of grace.
